Dried Porcini Mushrooms -Boletus Edulis- 2 ounce -57 g- - Convenience Sauces soups and more!

Porcini are one of the finest of all edible fungi, a mushroom delicate enough to flavour a sauce, yet vigorous enough to stand up to a grilled steak with Barolo. Prized by chefs of all stripes, fresh porcini have a very small season and are expensive. These dried porcini are one of the most reliable and high quality sources for chefs and home cooks. When rehydrated in hot water, they become meaty and slightly chewy and add a delectable richness to any dish. Wonderful in rich meat and cream sauces and a great addition to a chunky stew, or lasagna. Try it on a toasty bruschetta-style appetizer featuring mushrooms. To rehydrate, soak in hot water, wine or stock until soft (15 to 30 mins). You can use a coffee filter or paper towel to filter the mushroom flavored liquid for use in your dish, especially risotto.
